I've never seen any "writer" try so hard to bash Apple just for the click-bait. Stick to something you know, dickhead.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/539a502eecad04313aff6c11JimEdwardsIsADoucheThu, 12 Jun 2014 21:13:18 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/539a502eecad04313aff6c11

Free OS "sells" better than paid one, news at 8. And that percentage of Windows 8 adopters is still bigger than all OSX users.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/538e04a46bb3f78b0f859ef1oystersTue, 03 Jun 2014 13:23:48 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/538e04a46bb3f78b0f859ef1
Read between the lines... 14% of Windows users world wide is a ton more than 51% of Mac users. Windows users don't have to upgrade their OS's everytime a new one comes out. I've been using Windows 7 since it came out and I don't find a reason to upgrade. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/538d4966ecad04d47721f676FUD HaterTue, 03 Jun 2014 00:04:54 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/538d4966ecad04d47721f676

I'm not surprised that Timmy's comments were what they were. But here's one thing that people forget. Businesses run Windows and they have legacy programs on there. Legacy programs will not always run when you upgrade the software without extensive revisions, depending, of course, on the situation. There's extensive testing, and in some cases, user testing and training that matter too. Macs are not used widespread in most businesses. For now, they are most likely consumer products. Now of course conflicts can exist with third party software and some of these have been documented. But in general, it's not surprising to me that consumers are more willing to upgrade their machines. But why let details get in the way of your snarky slides?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/538d20f769beddb577fdc368thedefectMon, 02 Jun 2014 21:12:23 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/538d20f769beddb577fdc368
What he fails to mention is the 14% that are on Windows 8 is still more than all OS X users -- of every iteration -- combined by a large margin. OS X is over ten years old, and yet Windows 8 passed its combined total user base in about a year.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/538d0b36eab8ead250926f10FalseFlagMon, 02 Jun 2014 19:39:34 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/538d0b36eab8ead250926f10
Although humorous, I'm sure, for the Apple faithful gathered at WWDC - I would guess that if Microsoft had simply given away Windows 8 as a free upgrade for Windows 7 users they might have seen a similar percentage of adoption. I would assume this is why a similar jab wasn't possible when the OS X release was Mountain Lion!
In reality, the percentage adoption of Windows 8 is more a description of how successful Windows 7 was rather than a story of an upgrade's failure. There are still many users that consider Windows 7 more than "good enough" for everything they actually do with their computer on a daily basis. On the Apple side however, Mavericks was a nearly mandatory upgrade to prevent breaking a number of new service-oriented apps and a necessary unification for their much more profitable tablet and phone markets.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/538d01a869beddd46efdc368SalMMon, 02 Jun 2014 18:58:48 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/538d01a869beddd46efdc368
Windows 8 eclipsed the entire Mac installed base some time ago.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/538ccb1969beddfa1bfdc36adime10Mon, 02 Jun 2014 15:06:01 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/538ccb1969beddfa1bfdc36a
When ever Apple takes a swipe at a competitor at their keynote, it means they're worried and vulnerable.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/538cbe1aeab8ea112e926f0frotorhead1871Mon, 02 Jun 2014 14:10:34 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/538cbe1aeab8ea112e926f0f

Whoa. Great Stat Tim. will you show a chart of global mobile OS marketshare?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/538cbb3169bedd1354fdc368Tim Cook's retirement fundMon, 02 Jun 2014 13:58:09 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/538cbb3169bedd1354fdc368
There is no slide for that statistic. Darn.
Maybe it wouldn't bode well for Apple's future if its adoring fans knew what Cook is cooking for his retirement.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/538cba5deab8ea8e21926f11Here's the whole truthMon, 02 Jun 2014 13:54:37 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/538cba5deab8ea8e21926f11
Microsoft is a conglomerate of 12, possibly 14 by the end of 2014, $1B+ businesses. Successful, complex, forward-looking. They have a history of misreading the market and correcting course when it has become obvious. They misread the market with W8 and will correct it with W9. The rate of adoption for W9 will be comparable to W7. A year from now Tim Cook will have to find another silly stat to swing his ego at Microsoft.
Apple is a two-product company: iPhone, iPad. Very successful and impeccable in its execution. Extremely wealthy and reads the market well. Alas, Steve Jobs is no longer casting his magic on the company. That's why under Tim Cook's orders, Apple will keep buying Apple stock for the next 5 years. That's when Cook plans to retire. The massive buying will prevent the stock from imploding. He will retire a very rich man. Apple's customers and shareholders not so much.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/538cb7c36bb3f70e3d21f687Jason JohnsonMon, 02 Jun 2014 13:43:31 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/538cb7c36bb3f70e3d21f687
I can't help but wonder if the 14% of ALL windows devices doesn't eclipse the entire install base of Macs. Just sayin' if you're gonna toss out numbers maybe you should tell the whole truth.
